Testimonials for “Once Removed”
“After years in this business, I can easily discern between fleeting ideas and well-crafted concepts. Once Removed is undoubtedly the latter. The manuscript reflects significant effort and passion behind this effect. It offers a clever approach to learning a thought-of card. Stephen Shaw and Michael Murray present various options for performing this effect, with my favorite being the final one in the book. The core of Once Removed is inspired by the original Paul Fox Miracle Gimmick, yet the effect stands apart. A spectator simply looks through the deck to identify a thought-of card and its mate, and you know the cards! There’s some questioning involved, but Steve and Mike ensure it all flows logically, making it undetectable. I appreciate the book for the multitude of options it provides. While this concept requires some effort to grasp, it’s well worth the investment. If you’re interested in innovative ideas, this is a must-have.” – Richard Osterlind, May 2013
